Posted October 17, 200916 yr Well, as the forum expands, we need to keep adding more and more forums. Last time, we introduced a Creativity category, and split General into General and Entertainment. What forums do you think we should add next? Any ideas?
October 22, 200916 yr I think it would be cool by itself like General and Random. anyone else like that idea?
October 23, 200916 yr Personal Forum? What would go there? Like, if someone is having a personal issue and needs advice, that can be a place for them to go to and for others to try and solve their problems or give them their thoughts about a situation. I have it on another forum I go to and it is very helpful to members who are either too shy to ask someone in person or is struggling. I was actually considering a "Personal Announcements" forum, where people can post if they're leaving or even if something is happening in their life. You're right, simply "Personal" would be a better name. Do you think this would be better suited as a new forum akin to General and Random, or do you think it should be a subforum of something? For leaving you could have a "Going Away" mini-section. I don't think you really need a whole Forum based upon that. But for events happening or something, I think a personal forum would be very useful. I think it should be under General, unless you'd want to make a new section dedicated on that. You could put maybe like a myspace thread within the Personal section, and move the pic thread there, too, since it has to do with personal things, per se?
October 23, 200916 yr I agree with Misuzu on that one. I was thinking about that last night, personal/life issue's section. Introduction should just have another sub-forum for going away. Just like the random has the best of KH13 sub-froum.
October 26, 200916 yr Author Does phpbb offer profile comments? We're using MyBB, and nah, I don't think it does. I'll look and see if there's a plugin, though. Yep, there's a plugin. I'll add it later tonight. Talk about it at http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2500
October 28, 200916 yr o.o I like that idea. o. < What about a subforum for each of the creativity sections? Like for Images, and Video there could be a Request forum/tutorials and writing can have something similar. For the people who need help on video editing software, photoshop, etc. ? Roleplaying could have like a subforum for the roleplay character lists and what not (And maybe a how-to roleplay thread if someone really wanted to do that. XDD). Something like that that makes it easier to dig up those kinds of threads? Just an idea. It's fine if you won't want to do that. Just felt like throwing that idea out there. ;o

October 28, 200916 yr I probably have no room to say anything because I'm not in any section (until recently that was true) except images. I'd like a separation of the image section for images people just want to post and actual graphic design Or just make a subsection for sigs/avis/the such like
October 30, 200916 yr I agree with tumor it's stupid when people post pictures when its not actually theirs and i just waste my time haha. divide the section 8D
February 20, 201015 yr I'm just throwing this suggestion out there, but what if we split apart the random section? Idk if I have or another person has suggested this, but meh. Maybe something like an "Other" section for topics that aren't as serious as others for "General" and what not, but still are topics worthy of not being spammed constantly on? Then a "Spam" section that doesn't count towards a post count where the people who have rather pointless threads, "forum games," etc. -- that kind of things can go there? It's just.. Sometimes there's a difference between spammy threads and random threads. Sometimes really, really pointless threads are made. = idk, just saying.
February 20, 201015 yr Author Well Random is the biggest forum, I'd like to split it, but I'm not sure how. If we did Other / Forum Games like you said, what would go in Other exactly? I know you said "topics that aren't as serious as others", but like.. what does that include?
February 20, 201015 yr hmm... Maybe threads like: http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=4316 , http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=4143 , http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3274 , http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3429 , http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3534, or http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3949 . That members felt were random and unfitting for General would belong in the other? Maybe also the birthday threads for other members as well?
February 20, 201015 yr i agree with kaiso. not trying to be offensive, but a lot of the threads in the random section are pretty much...spam some, though, aren't. they're just normal threads that don't fit in the rest of the sections.
February 20, 201015 yr Author The story behind your user name.. This would be fine in General. where do you come from? Also fine in General. How do you guys celebrate christmas? Intelligent discussion, is fine in General. YAY! I GOT MY PSP! But, I have a few questions.. This works in Personal, as he's talking about how he got a PSP and how he needs help. SNOW, SNOW, And Guess What? SNOW! This is a discussion about weather/snowing, so it's fine in General. The New iPad! Discussion of a product, perfectly fine in General. So yeah I don't see why we need a new section for stuff like that? ;/ Sorry, I just don't see how those threads are even different to what you'd expect in General (or that one which is Personal). They seem to fit into those sections to me. Tell me if you disagree.
February 20, 201015 yr xDDD it's okay then. i gotta say i kinda agree with you. they all don't fit in the other sections so we would just need to be moving threads...
March 3, 201015 yr Eternas message board. Not but seriouslly maybe a career discussion??? I dont know maybe that fits into personnal or general. I honestly think that the boards we have are sufficient enough.
March 4, 201015 yr A Rant/Nag/Complaint/Argument board(s) would be nice, lol. Or you could just call it the "Creative Discussion" board. It's always good to have at least one of those on any forum, good for entertainment.

I go into the Personal section and all I really see is repetitive threads of people who say they're leaving but don't and sob stories. 8/

I go into the Personal section and all I really see is repetitive threads of people who say they're leaving but don't and sob stories. 8/ Well, "sob stories" basically includes all rants, nags and complaints. So I don't think we need another forum for it. But thanks for the idea, anyway!
March 8, 201015 yr Hmmmm, maybe you should seperate something from Entertainment. It should be Anime. I don't know really, I just thought it would be nice to have Anime as a seperate forum. Maybe it wouldn't sound that good but it should be a good start for ideas. You should also add another forum which should be Video Games, a completly different catagory which should make the forums a little easier. Like I said above, I really don't know if these would be considered good, but it should be a good start for ideas. Now I know this forum is on a server, and you can't fit too many things on there (well at least I think), so it wouldn't be wise to add to many things like different forums like Anime and Video Games. I was just bumping this up, only because I haven't see anybody say anything except for Cella. Now I know for sure you won't do anything about Anime, Daniel, but I think there should be a Video Game forum. Talking about it in the Entertainment forum doesn't sound all that great. I believe splitting Video Games from Entertainment would be alot better. Any thoughts about a Video Game forum, or at least the very much as to put it as a sub-catagory in the Entertainment?
March 8, 201015 yr Author I was thinking about splitting Entertainment, actually. Into "Media" and "Video Games", like you said. However, I just feel that if I do that, the forums might be spread a bit too thin? I mean, there's only 180 threads in Entertainment. Idk, what do people think?
March 8, 201015 yr I think there should be a split in entertainment, I think it'd be quite neater if it were split. Games seperated from TV shows and such = thumbs up
March 8, 201015 yr ILU Cluless ^_^ 2 votes for a split in Entertainment. Besides, most converstations in the Entertainment are about Video Games, so you mind as well split it from it.
Well, as the forum expands, we need to keep adding more and more forums. Last time, we introduced a Creativity category, and split General into General and Entertainment. What forums do you think we should add next? Any ideas?
